Day 64

Busy day today. Had to watch the niece and nephew this morning for a few hours. Grandpa had his follow-up appointment with his primary care doctor today. Looks like the biopsy came back negative for cancer. That's good news but we still don't know what's wrong with him. There is obviously something going on still. He is very short of breath and can hardly do the things he was doing just a few weeks ago, he doesn't have much of an appetite, he's still in a lot of pain and he's sleeping a lot more than usual. He may not have cancer but I still don't think he is going to make it much longer. :(

Emelia had an appointment with her new nephrologist today. He was much nicer than the other one and I walked away feeling informed, not put down. The only problem I have now is that his advice for treating Emelia totally contradicts what the urologist has told us. So now we've got to figure out whose advice we agree with and who's advice we need to follow. I think I'm leaning more to the urologist but we will continue seeing the nephrologist every few months at least for the next year or so. Thankfully it is not a major problem and we are not talking about life or death decisions here.

I got back on the treadmill today. I did my workout backwards again and I still think I like it better this way. I went 3.3 miles and burned 535 calories. I got back to my diet today too. I am feeling fat right now for some reason though.
:( Hope I didn't gain anything back. There is about half of each pie from yesterday leftover and it is killing me not to have a piece right now. I kind of feel like an addict. One taste of my drug of choice (sugar/carbs) and I am craving more. It's kind of scary to think of it that way but I swear, that's what it's feeling like. I hope I will not give in to temptation! Here is what I have eaten today:
